  • If you log into the game with building pieces that are covered by this new system in your inventory, they will be converted to its raw materials and placed in a box within your inventory so you can use those materials in your new session.
  • Added new admin panel cheat: Ignore Building Stability. It does what it says on the tin.
  • Added new server setting: Stability Loss Multiplier. This new setting lets you control loss of stability in your constructions, either to make your buildings barely require any supports or have them crumble harder if they’re not properly supported.
  • New server setting: Allow Building Anywhere. Enabling this option will let you bypass previous building limitations in the map, such as NPC camps and other places where building was limited in the past. Kudos to Multigun and Hades (LBPR mod) for the inspiration.

• Reduced the stability cost of triangle wedge ceiling pieces.
• Rotating pieces when replacing is now fully functional again, as long as the pieces used match in characteristics and capabilities.
• Changed the method that fence foundations re-check for collision.
  • It used to be that if they found another fence foundation to attach to, it would then ignore collisions with anything else
  • This is now changed and fence foundations will do a recheck for foundations afterwards.
• It is now possible to place square ceilings on sloped inverted wedge roofs.
• Pillars now lose 20 stability if it is placed on another building piece and attached without a socket.

• Putting shields into the Delving bench will no longer make the bench eat them.
• Iron and Steel poniards no longer require leather when crafted.

• Bone Claws and Hardened Steel Punching Daggers can now be dismantled.
• Hitting trees with pickaxes now always yield bark with each hit. Woof woof.

• Drying Desert Berries and Highland berries in the dryer now has a 20% chance of giving out berry seeds as well (on both listen and dedicated servers).
• Recipe items can no longer be placed in the shortcut bar.

• Equipping throwing axes should no longer zoom in the camera.
• Added Stun Break system to all Wildlife.

• Lances should now correctly return to un-readied position after dealing damage.
• It is no longer possible to swap to Vanity Camera while attacking.
• You can no longer use Target Lock while in Vanity Camera mode as your ego doesn’t need more boosting.
• Fixed an issue with 2h Spear heavy attacks that allowed movement between the later stages of the attack chain.

• In an inhumane turn of events, Frost Giant Bodyguards now use Frost Giant perks instead of human perks.

• Fixed an heart-breaking issue where certain Nordheimers would get attacked by/attack their wolf companions.
• Yakiths and Accursed NPCs in a certain Siptah camp should no longer be hostile to each other.

• Human Followers will now refuse to follow you if you’re leading a pack of zombies, and vice versa.
• Boreanaz the Shrouded and Stathem the Embalmer should no longer spawn naked. Which is a shame, because who doesn’t want to see Boreanaz showing some skin?
• Borenaz The Shrouded was a Taskmaster instead of a Priest. We brought back the devotion.
• Addressed an issue that made NPCs vanish into the void sometime after being hit with a truncheon.
• Fixed an issue where Beastmaster Teimos was getting stat bonuses from the wrong faction (Forgotten Tribe) instead of his faction (Black Hand). This has resulted in a reduction in health and damage that should bring Teimos more in line with other thralls.
• Area NPCs should now despawn consistently, and stay that way, when loading or starting an event.
• Merkel left the blade and took the edge, being now an Edgesmith.

• Addressed an issue where humanoid followers would stop following you when mounting a Wartorn Rhino.
• Thralls freed from cages should now be aware of their weapons, and use proper tactics with them. #uncaged
• You can now order followers to move on foundations close to you, as they no longer fear the same matter to occupy the same space like a bad Timecop would do.

• Aesir Skalds and Veterans are no longer marked with a yellow border but come with the intended mini-boss.
• Cut down on the amount of crafting thralls that could be obtained from the Dagon Slave-Taker purge.

• Perks and Attributes have been revamped.
• Attribute bonuses from Weapons, Armor, Potions, Elixirs, Food, Warpaints and other similar gear have been removed from the game and replaced with stat bonuses and effects.
  • This is a massive and overarching change and it will not be documented in detail. Please make sure to check each item’s updated descriptions and stats!
• Followers (Pets and Thralls) have received a balancing pass:
  • They will now only have 4 stats: Strength, Agility, Grit and Vitality.
  • Their Perks have also changed due to the general revamp.
  • Their HP has been reduced based on their Tier more on that here
  • Their damage output has been reduced by roughly 50%.
  • These changes have been made to compensate for the new Authority bonuses and Perks.
• Siege adjustments:
  • Doubled the damage over time from demon-fire orbs and explosive arrows (was 500).
  • Increased the siege damage dealt when combining Gaseous Orbs with Demon-fire Orbs to 2500 (was 1250).
  • Increased the weight of Demon-fire Orbs to 4 each (was 1.75).
  • It now requires a Tier 4 priest to summon a god’s avatar (was Tier 3).
  • These changes should allow Demon-fire Orbs to be a viable ranged alternative to Explosive Jars while still allowing Jars to be the biggest risk and cost for the biggest damage payout reward.
• Door adjustments:
  • Increased the health of Tier 3 doors to 50,000 (was 25,000).
  • Increased the health of Tier 3 gate doors to 65,000 (was 32,500).
  • Reduced the health of drawbridges to 75,000 (was 200,000).
  • These changes should allow doors to be a bit better of a defensive option while still acting as a point of entry for attackers. We also reined in drawbridges since their health values were a bit excessive for a door-type building.
• Adjustments to Daggers:
  • Daggers no longer apply twice as many debuff stacks when they weapon proc effects. In the past, daggers were able to apply debuffs at double the rate of other weapons, but as the game has grown, the number of proc effects weapons can apply and the power of them have made this adjustment no longer necessary.
  • Moved the 1.2x damage bonus to dagger light attack 1 and 2 to attacks 3 and 4 to better reward further attacks in the combo chain. The bonus is scaled proportional to the current bonus and the number of hits.
  • Increased the stamina cost of dagger light attacks 2, 3, and 4 to be the same as dagger light attack 1 (1.5x) to compensate for the large amount of distance these attacks can cover.
  • These changes should keep daggers performing as well as before overall, but with some small adjustments that mostly impact short engagements.
• Poison adjustments:
  • Reduced the damage dealt by poison effects applied by weapon procs such as those from Feroxic weapons and Venom-Infused weapons to ~32 damage at max stacks (was ~63).
  • Increased the amount of Set Antidotes produced when crafting to 5 (was 1).
  • Increased the number of stacks poison items applied to items can apply to 20 (was 10).
  • Reduced the base damage of Feroxic weapons and Zathite Spear by ~10%.
  • These changes should bring easily accessible poison effects more in line with bleeding effects and provide a more cost effective method of counter play.
• Food adjustments:
  • Removed the healing effect from Herbal Tea (was 5 hp over 2.5s).
  • Salted Pork will provide a bonus to Strength Weapon Damage.
  • Salted Exquisite Meat will provide a bonus to Agility Weapon Damage.
  • Savory Jerky will provide a bonus to Health.
  • Trail Jerky will provide a bonus to Armor.
  • Capped heal per second from food to 12 (previous max was ~17).
  • These changes should allow more foods to be viable for healing while still keeping feasts at the top of the FOOD CHAIN. Get it? No? …okay
• Adjustments to Mounted Combat:
  • Holding a lance out now drains stamina similar to how stamina drains when holding a heavy shot with a bow.
  • Increased the stamina cost of all mounted attacks by 2x.
  • Lances will now return to their un-readied position after dealing damage.
  • Reduced maximum damage multiplier from lances to 10x (was 12.5x).
  • Increased the Endurance damage dealt by players on foot to mounts by 7x. This is controllable via a server setting: PvPMountEnduranceDamageMultiplier and as the name implies this will only affect player versus player encounters.
  • These changes should fix some issues of one-shotting with lance double hits in addition to improving the chances a player has on foot versus a mounted attacker.
  • Tweaked the endurance damage multipliers to mounted PvP enemies to allow for multipliers based on weapon type.
    • Server setting is now a 1x multiplier, and individual weapons have their own with 2h Spears dealing the most and Daggers dealing the least.
• Changes to Armors:
  • Reduced the weight of medium armor to allow it to be more of a middle step between heavy and light armor.
  • Changed the way armor values translate into mitigation. Each point of armor will now contribute less to your overall damage mitigation.
  • Increased the armor values of medium and heavy armor by ~25% to compensate for the above change.
  • The overall result is that base armor values will be lower to allow for more room for armor buffs to make an impact. In addition to this, this will allow for more separation between the 3 armor types in terms of weight, mitigation, and stamina regeneration/costs which will allow for a more meaningful choice between armor types.
• Changes to Stamina regeneration:
  • Adjusted base stamina regeneration rates for all armor types. In particular, medium and heavy armor will now be able to regenerate stamina more quickly at low encumbrance weights and light armor will regenerate stamina more slowly at higher encumbrance weights.
  • Reduced the amount of maximum stamina gained per point of Grit to 3 and per point of Agility to 1. Armor bonuses for Stamina have been reduced accordingly.
• Increased the armor gained from thin, basic, and thick armor plating to +4/+8/+12 (was +1/+2/+3).
• Base sprinting speed brought down from 850 to 773. With the new Agility level 15 perks, it can be brought up to old values if specializing in this skill tree.
• Capped the maximum amount of bonus damage from a single piece of armor to 10%.
• Slightly increased the Hyper Armor window on 2h Spear heavy finisher.
• Improved dodge window timings for 2H Axe, Katana, Claws, and Short Sword attacks to make them more forgiving.
• Movement speed while strafing is now the same as the movement speed while moving forward. This should allow for easier maneuverability in combat while using target lock and for players who do not use controller style movement type.
• Explosive Jar adjustments:
  • Physics have been removed from lit jars.
  • Damage radius for damage over time has been increased (roughly lines up with burning oil VFX).
  • All new and improved VFX.
• Halved the size of the hitbox for two handed hammers because the hitbox extended far beyond the reach of the actual mesh.
• Redesigned the effect of the Sigil of the Fiend. It now reduces stamina cost for all attacks by 15%.
• Fixed health of Black Rhino to be in line with other non-alpha Rhinos.
• Doubled the weight of the Aspect of the Demon helmet to maintain its unique advantages while asking a bit more investment to fully benefit from them.
• Increased base damage dealt by 1h sword opening heavy attack by x1.25.
• Increased the speed of which Dragonbone arrows are crafted from 5 seconds to 1 second.
• Increased the amount of Harpy’s kiss arrows crafted in a single go, and increased the Eldarium cost to match.
• Reduced the weight of Stone and Wood by a half to allow for more to be carried when building structures with the new building system.
• Food poisoning debuff damage reduced, from 10 points of damage to 8 per tick.
• Yamatai Rocknoses should now have the same stats as normal rocknose equivalents.
• Increased the HP of all Tier 2 building pieces by 50% to bring them closer to their Tier 3 counterparts and provide a more reasonable mid-tier defensive option.
• Reduced the base duration of cripple effects across the board.
• Reworked the way thralls provide bonuses to character statistics that are present on crafted gear. Every piece of armor crafted at a station with a thrall present will now provide an additional bonus to any character statistic that is already present on that item. For example, if an armor granted bonus health, a thrall would increase that amount based on the tier of the thrall present a time of craft. The bonuses are as follows:
  • Strength / Agility Weapon Damage: 0.5% per thrall tier, maximum of 2% per piece of armor.
  • Stamina: 0.5 per thrall tier, rounded up, maximum of 2 per piece of armor.
  • Health: 2 per thrall tier, maximum of 8 per piece of armor.
  • Carry Capacity: 1.5 per thrall tier, maximum of 6 per piece of armor.
  • Follower Damage: 0.5% per thrall tier, maximum of 2% per piece of armor.
  • Concussive Damage: 0.5% per thrall tier, maximum of 2% per piece of armor.
  • These bonuses are added on top of the existing bonus present on a piece of armor. For example, if a piece of armor granted 3% Strength Weapon Damage it would become 5% Strength Weapon Damage if crafted by a Tier 4 thrall. Likewise, if it granted 6% Strength Weapon Damage, it would become 8%.
    • These updated values will appear on the tooltip of the item when selected in inventory.
• Archer Thralls and Fighter Thralls now receive base damage bonuses to melee and ranged attacks equally based on their tier.
  • For example, prior to this, Archer thralls only received a bonus to ranged damage. After this change, they will also receive an increase to their melee damage.
  • Fighter thralls likewise will receive a bonus to their ranged damage.
  • The purpose of this change is to allow Archer thralls which have higher Agility scores to deal reasonable damage with Agility based melee weapons and likewise for Fighters with ranged weapons.
• Szeth’s Truncheon and Headache weapon will no longer modify damaged enemy stamina pools.
• The default value for the max visibility distance of health bars in server settings is now 15000.

• New server setting: Allow Building Anywhere. Enabling this option will let you bypass previous building limitations in the map, such as NPC camps and other places where building was limited in the past. Kudos to Multigun and Hades (LBPR mod) for the inspiration.
• Redesigned Escape menu with collapsible categories for better browsing.
• Changed the priority squeezing fishes for the liquid press. Now the most-gain fish will be squeezed first and the least-gain fish sqwozen lastliest.
• Completely emptying an inventory no longer prevents you from closing it with the interaction key.
• When using a controller, it is now possible to loop in menus (i.e. go from the bottom option to the top with one input).
• Changed default keybind for player inventory to Tab.
• Respawning inside the Volcano, Dregs and the Black Keep is now possible.
• Added new possible keybindings when holding a key instead of just pressing it. This should increase the number of available bindable actions, especially on controllers.
• More actions can be bound to different Keybinds.
• All keybinds are now allowed to be reused for different actions.
• You can now use the sprint key while flying for faster flying speeds. Gotta fly fast.
